Hampi day 1

Hampi with Nandini

After Bangalore I went up to Hampi together with Nandhini where we spent 5 days walking around among ruins and temple monkeys. Hampi was the center of a vast empire until it was destroyed by invading armies 500 years ago. Now an area covering 26 square km's is full of ruins to explore.

We found this very large caterpillar. The book next to it is a standard sized moleskin.
